GSM

The aim of this project is to develop a GSM sniffer and tools for key recovery.

Project highlights: OpenCL A5/1 cracker and statistical keystream guesser capable of cracking the key in several seconds and 99% probability on an insecure network and in several minutes on a secure network with ~30% probability.

Project status:

Multichannel sniffer using FT4232 and 8 OsmocomBB phones controlled by Arduino. This does not seem to be an optimal choice today, a SDR and software demodulation would be much better. The sniffer was designed in 2011 before SDRs became widely available.
